You would think that would be true. But, again, the credit reporting system just doesn't work that way. When you pay an old debt, the
negative credit listing doesn't disappear. In fact, it re-ages and the seven year clock begins again with that negative listing. And, the most ironic thing is that a paid, current negative listing is not any better than an unpaid negative listing. That's not always true, but in most cases, you won't get much further by paying the old debt.
That is, you won't get much further unless you also work to restore your credit at the same time. The good news is that we can help you settle those debts and save you a lot of money in the process.
